JV Lady Patriots Fall To Visiting Clay City, 46-31

The Lady Eels led from start to finish, enjoying an 11-7 lead at the end of the first quarter, a 21- 18 advantage at the half, and a six point, 32-26 cushion moving into the final frame.

Kristin Hoskins paced Owen Valley with a team-high 12 points. She also came away with two steals and dished out an assist.

Others contributing for the Lady Patriots included Cecelia Herrington with 11 points, two rebounds and one steal; Zaine Bucy, two points, two assists and one block; Katrina Dayhuff, two points; Kayla Samick, two points, six rebounds, one block and one steal; and Courtney Drescher, two points and three rebounds.

Reporting on behalf of junior varsity coach Josh Henson, OV varsity girls’ basketball coach Todd York noted the squad gave a solid effort against a talented team and a good program.

“Our defense wasn’t great in the second half and we committed too many turnovers late in the game,” coach York said. “But overall, our coaching staff was pleased with the team’s effort. We’ll continue working hard and will be ready for Brown County on Thursday.”

OV (6-4) will be back in action this coming Thursday, January 12, on the road in Nashville against the host Lady Eagles. Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m.
